Abstract
Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is a widely used technique to characterize viscoelastic materials as a function of temperature and also frequency. This work aims to measure the complex modulus in three different operational modes of a DMA to investigate its frequency- and temperature-dependence, and also to compare all results. Even though the test conditions were almost the same, discrepancies were found between the measured complex modulus. However, the thermorheologically simple behaviour could be observed in all measurements.
